The first came in the Senate, where Assemblyman Willard Dad-ham of Los Angeles proposed a tax of $50 apiece on all chain stores, where the group consists of five or more establishments.
Then Senator J. M. Inman of Sacramento presented a measure to the Senate, Intended to stop price cutting below actual cost of commodities. He said it would regulate against future price wars aud protect independent producers against slashing of prices.

FRATERNITIES APPROVE NEW RUSH RULES
Three Sections Of S.C. Annual Are Finished
Drive Launched To Deprive G. O. P. of House Leadership
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 -(UP)— A movement has been launched, apparently with good chances of success, to shear the Republican leadership ln the next house of representatives of much of its power over controlling what the house will vote upon.
Reports are being circulated that some western members will refuse to support Nicholas Long-worth for re-election .is speaker in the 72nd congress unless he comes out for liberalized rules. Such a course would throw the speakership, as well as the chairmanship of tbe house committees and control of all legislation, to Rep. John N. Garner of Texas, the present minority leader, and his party.
But it appeared tonight, on the basis of comments from interested congressmen, there is little chance the Republicans will not organize. This Is mostly because the Republican congressmen from Wiscon sin, Nebraska and other western states aro not nearly as ■’Insurgent" as the senators from those states.
CHINESE ART IS TOPIC OF TALK
Three sections of the El Itodeo have been completed, which is a promising indication that the book will be out on the date scheduled.
According to Juanita Mills, editor of the social sorority and fraternity section, 41 panels of social groups have already been mounted, including those of 23 fraternities, 16 sororities, and the inter-fraternity and Pan hellenic councils. The membership lists of these organizations have been proof-read and are now in the hands of the printers.
More than 2000 pictures have been taken by the Haskell studio to date. This number Is equal to that of last, year and will exceed past records when complete.
Typists and fliers are asked to report to John Morley any afternoon this week in order to make arrangements for future work.

FRATERNITIES APPROVE NEW RUSH RULES
Three Sections Of S.C. Annual Are Finished
Drive Launched To Deprive G. O. P. of House Leadership
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 -(UP)— A movement has been launched, apparently with good chances of success, to shear the Republican leadership ln the next house of representatives of much of its power over controlling what the house will vote upon.
Reports are being circulated that some western members will refuse to support Nicholas Long-worth for re-election .is speaker in the 72nd congress unless he comes out for liberalized rules. Such a course would throw the speakership, as well as the chairmanship of tbe house committees and control of all legislation, to Rep. John N. Garner of Texas, the present minority leader, and his party.
But it appeared tonight, on the basis of comments from interested congressmen, there is little chance the Republicans will not organize. This Is mostly because the Republican congressmen from Wiscon sin, Nebraska and other western states aro not nearly as ■’Insurgent" as the senators from those states.
